power surge protector
hi there, i agree with nettron 1000 about the MOV, but if you still want to use such device, why dont you try Teccors SIDACtors. This item is a solid-state crowbar device intended to protect telecom equipment during hazardous condition.
These are some of the features of this device:
1. cant be damage by voltage ( as what they claim)
2. eliminates hysteresis & heat dessipation typically found with a clamping device
3. eliminates voltage overshoot caused by fast transients
4. is non-degenerative (as what they claim)
5. will not fatigue (again as what they claim)
6.has negligible capacitance making it ideal for high speed transmission equit.
I have not tried this yet but their write-up of the product is quite impressive.
